What is process electrification in downstream Oil and Gas industry

Damien Feral, a Process Domain Expert for Oil and Gas in the Process Electrification Practice, discusses the significance of process electrification in the downstream Oil & Gas industry. With over 650 oil refineries worldwide, there is a growing push for decarbonization and net-zero operations. While renewables, green hydrogen, and carbon capture technologies play a role, process electrification offers efficiency gains of up to 20% and a better business case compared to other solutions. Currently, an average oil refinery can electrify about 30% of its process energy consumption. Schneider Electric's Process Electrification Practice combines expertise in process, electrification technologies, and electrical distribution to support industries on their decarbonization journey.
